The Normans originally came from Scandinavia and were of Viking descent. During the tenth 
century they invaded and conquered the northern part of France, which is still called Normandy. 
In the next century, under William the Conqueror, they invaded and subdued England. This event 
brought about the end of Saxon England and saw the start of a new era of English history, with 
new forms of architecture and a new form of social and political order called the feudal system. It 
is interesting to note that while William was conquering England, other Norman chiefs sailed 
down the coast of France and Spain, entered the Mediterranean Sea and conquered Sicily and 
some parts of southern Italy. Norman knights from France and Italy also played a leading role in 
the Crusades.
